The 21st Annual Al Flutie Over The Hill Rip-Off Sailfish Tournament |
Dear Friends & Fellow Anglers, The founding fathers of the OVER THE HILL RIP-OFF, Capt. Al, Dick Shepherd, Capt. Socko Gorenflo and Rip Tosun, and all of us that have participated in this event over the past twenty-one years have so much to be proud of. Good things often come from humble beginnings and this tournament certainly reflects that old and trusted adage. Together we have raised over $365,000.00 in a little one-day fishing tournament helping those in need in Monroe County, contributing generously to help “Catch the Cure for Cystic Fibrosis” and providing financial assistance to Monroe Association of ReMARCable Citizens. Our Twentieth Anniversary last year was certainly reason to celebrate and we did it in grand style merging some of the old with some of the new to give you the best of everything in our anniversary tournament. Gordon Ross, Director of Development for MARC in Monroe County and Michelle Snyder, MARC Program Coordinator, took the reins as tournament directors giving all of us a stellar performance. We will continue our tradition of contributing to MARC and to the Redbone Tournament Series as an at-large offshore member of this prestigious fundraising organization. Gordon, Michelle and MARC will direct the operational portion of the event and Gary and Susan Ellis, founders of The Redbone, will provide their expertise in marketing and publicity.
Expect to see lots of familiar faces because all of us old folks involved in years past will be back for more fun, festivities and fish stories. Pasta’s trophies will grace our awards table, there will be a collection of outstanding items in our live and silent auctions and Gary Dunn’s Ocean View Inn & Sports Pub will continue to serve as the official tournament headquarters. We trust you will continue to give your support, as are we, to this wonderful tribute to the founding fathers and for the financial support it provides to vital organizations in our local community.
Good fishing, |
